was introduced by President Carpenter, delivered the following mes­sage:
GOVERNOR'S MESSAGE
Mr. President, Mr. Speaker, Members of the Arizona Senate
and House of Representatives, fellow Arizonans:
We meet here today under historic circumstances. You will
be the last Arizona Legislature to convene in regular session
in this, the original State Capitol Building.
Let us not forget that it was in this room that the Constitu­tion
of our State was written and submitted to the people of
the frontier Territory of Arizona.
It was here, forty-eight years ago next March, that our First
State Legislature convened to hear the executive message of
the Old Roman, George W. P. Hunt.
On that occasion Governor Hunt predicted that Arizona's
future would far exceed (and I quote) "the brightest dreams
vouchsafed in the past to Arizona's optimistic and uncon­querable
pioneers."
Blessings have indeed come to Arizona. From the beginning,
the hardy independence of our people assured that our State
would become one of the truly great commonwealths. In the
last twenty years our economic and population growth, a na­tional
phenomenon, have proved this.
Blessings, though, are never unmixed. Nowhere has the
effect of the growth of this State been more seriously re­flected
than in the cost of our Government and related ac­tivities.
Twenty years ago, in 1940, when indications of Arizona's
modern expansion were first seen, the Legislature's general
fund appropriation was $7,081,719.
Last year our Legislature appropriated from the State gen­eral
fund $93,552,364. Last year's appropriation was an in­crease
of more than $22 million dollars over the 1958 gen­eral
fund outlay.
Bear in mind that this single year's budget-increase alone
was three times as great as the entire general fund budget
just two decades before.
EDUCATION
We are all aware that the greater part of the 1959 budget
increase was embodied in the 61 per cent raise in the State
appropriation for public schools.
The ratio of cost of Arizona schools has far outdistanced our
population growth. Two decades ago the taxpayers of this
State were providing an average of $122 per student for the
education of 89,025 elementary and high school students.
6
FIRST DAY
MONDAY, JANUARY 11, 1960
JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE
Last year our student total was 242,111 and the average per
student support was $429.24.
Twenty years ago the total overall Arizona tax expenditure
for the common and high schools was $11,752,702. This year
the taxpayers of Arizona will have provided more than $130
million dollars for these same schools.
It is right and proper that education should by far command
the largest part of our State and local tax dollar and our
greatest concern.
If the day should come when that is not true, then this will
no longer be the America our forefathers conceived; for it
was their conception that the public schools of this Nation
should be the one government responsibility closest to the
people.
To that end, I expressed to you in my message last year my
conviction that Arizona should remove the constitutional
barrier against service upon the State Board of Education of
Arizonans who are not directly employed in our educa­tional
system. Arizona is the only State where such a barrier
exists.
Historically, the educational profession itself has disclaimed
any request for dominant representation on such boards.
therefore,
(1) I recommend that this Legislature refer to
the ballot a constitutional amendment re­quiring
that membership on the State Board
of Education be representative of the general
public, as well as of the profession of educa­tion.
(2) I also recommend that companion legislation
be enacted requiring the State Board of Edu­cation
to redefine the State's basic philosophy
and approach to education and to define edu­cation's
primary goals and responsibilities.
Over the years, the major endeavor in this State has been
toward achieving equal financial support for the basic edu­cation
of each youngster regardless of geographic location
or economic status of his school district.
Last year, through enactment of the School Finance Act
of 1959, this Legislature made more progress toward that
goal than any Legislature in the State's history. And I com­mend
you for your work.
On the other hand, the measure of the strength of education
cannot be counted alone in terms of dollars spent.
There is another and a far more important standard. It is the
standard of education itself.
FIRST DAY
MONDAY, JANUARY 11, 1960
JOURNAL OF T'HE. HOUSE
What education are we providing our children for the 130
million dollars we are this year spending upon our common
and high schools?
The present crisis in world history imperatively demands an
answer to that question as does the ever-mounting burden
of taxation.
Only by clearly defining our educational goals will we re­ceive
a full dollar's worth of value for every tax dollar spent
for schools.
We must know where to minimize and where to concentrate
or strengthen. We cannot afford dissipation of precious and
costly school time in non-essential refinements if we are to
be able fully to meet our financial obligations. to our schools
and our moral obligations to our youth and to our Nation.
I must say here that it is my opinion that as a people we have
been derelict in defining just what we do expect of our edu­cational
system.
It is also my opinion that today the overwhelming majority
of our citizens are deeply concerned with this lack. They
would welcome a clear and understandable breakdown of
our school system's curriculum and objectives, as they now
exist.
There is a quotation from Abraham Lincoln which fits our
situation. On a subject of his times, Mr. Lincoln once said:
"If we could first know where we are, and whither we are
tending, we could better judge what to do and how to do
it."
Next year, therefore, must be one of decision in the field
of school curriculum. The people of Arizona, the State School
Board (however constituted), local school trustees, and our
teachers and our State and local administrators, cannot prop­erly
approach the problem unless they have at hand a clear
and adequately documented survey of the propiOrtionate
weights in our present courses of study and school activity.
Nor will the public be prepared and willing to meet its re­sponsibility
unless properly informed. Therefore,
(3) I recommend that this Legislature confer with
the State Superintendent of Public Instruction
and other proper authorities to determine the
scope, cost, and methods of research necessary
to provide complete factual information on the
existing curriculum in our public school sys­tem.
Such a report should be submitted to our
State and local school boards and our school
authorities in January, 1961, and be available
to the general public. The report should make
readily understandable the present quantity
in hours of instruction devoted to specific
subjects and activities at the high school and
other levels, as determined. It is my recom-

JOURNAL OF THE'. HOUSE,
mendation that the Governor be authorized to
create a committee, to be composed of rep­resentatives
of the Office of State, Superin­tendent
of Public Instruction and our school
boards, the educational profession, labor,
business, industry and the Parent-Teachers
Association, to act in an advisory capacity in
securing this information. It is further my
recommendation that an appropriation be
made, sufficient to meet the costs of such a
survey and to employ proper personnel to
compile the information sought.
Arizona's present minimum requirements are immediately
available. So is much of the other material necessary for
such an inquiry. Our devoted school boards and our educa­tional
authorities have made continuous study in the field
of curriculum.
For exampJe, the State Board in recent months authorized a
curriculum revision study as did the Arizona Education As­sociation,
which further points up the need for comprehen­sive
overall information.
The youth of America, given the challenge of intellectual
disciplines that demand the very best of their ability, will
outdo the youth of any land.
Let us in Arizona create such a challenge.
In this session you will be considering the advisability of ap­propriating
matching funds for participation in the National
Defense Education Act. I suggest that there is a surer, safer
road to education for maximum freedoms and productive and
creative achievement than Federal patronage.
In its first session last year this Legislature adopted the
School Finance Act of 1959. Supporting school revenue was
provided by the enactment of a special education tax in the
form of a 50 per cent increase in the State privilege license
tax.
This act, embodying features beyond the capacity of earlier
Legislatures, and its companion revenue measure, provided
our schools with an additional 18 million dollars. As a re­sult-
and for the first time in many, many years-the gen­eral
total of school district taxes decreased instead of in­creased.
Tax authorities with whom I have conferred are pessimistic
about chances of further decreases next year in school dis­trict
taxes. In fact, a number of them seriously doubt if the
districts can even hold the line against increases unless
rigid economy is practiced.
An argument most frequently used against creating needed
school funds at the constitutional State level for the special
relief of individual distressed school districts is the wide
variation in property assessment ratios in the 14 counties. It
FIRST DAY

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE
is charged that in this State there exists no really reliable as­sessment
yardstick of comparative real property wealth.
Therefore,
( 4) I recommend that this Legislature renew its
consultations with the County Assessors and
the State Tax Commission relative to financial
and other requirements for the latter body
fully to carry out its legal duty of establishing
uniformity of assessment practices in each of
the Counties of the State.
I commend you for your interim committee work on the re­codification
of our school laws. Your passage of the recodi­fication
amendments this year would eliminate many incon­sistencies
and conflicts which have accumulated over the
years. This action would undoubtedly make it easier for
school boards and administrators to do a better job.
I trust that you will give serious consideration in this ses­sion
to the recommendations of your Junior College Survey
Committee. The early establishment of several adequately
sized and equipped Junior Colleges would strengthen Ari­zona's
education and help to meet several very pressing
needs.
Junior Colleges of the type recommended by your commit­tee,
I understand, would provide both technical terminal
courses as well as college parallel courses. The rapidly grow­ing
manufacturing industry in this State has great need for
more and more technically trained personnel. Many of our
youth want and need the opportunity of acquiring market­able
skills of the type which could be profitably offered by
Junior Colleges.
Needless to say, the pressures upon our four-year Universi­ties
and College are mounting so rapidly that they may soon
be forced to a size too large for maximum efficiency and ef­fectiveness.
A well planned Junior College system could do
a great deal to relieve this situation.
In discussing any subject involving increased or additional
expenditures I am aware that excise and income tax reve­nues
of the State Government this year have been seriously
affected as the result of work stoppages and strikes in Ari­zona.
In normal years the copper mining industry accounts for
almost one-fourth of our State income tax revenue. The
construction industry, which earlier suffered a work stop­page,
is also a considerable factor in State income taxes.
Excise tax collections have been hit; not only as the tax falls
directly upon sales by the mining industry and the activity
of the construction industry, but also due to lessening of the
vast sums in wages and purchases which normally flow into
our economy.

FIRST DAY
MONDAY, JANUARY 11, 1960
JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE
Next week when I deliver the budget message and present
to you the requests of the various State departments, insti­tutions
and agencies, I shall in detail discuss certain fiscal
aspects of the State Government. Among other items to be
presented at that time will be capital expenditures for State
institutions and the needs in such fields as, welfare and public
health and the other requirements of our rapidly growing
State.
The appropriation increases which I am recommending today
are those primarily designed to increase the State's revenue.
INDUSTRIAL AND TOURIST DEVELOPMENT
For reasons of health, scenery, climate and the like, tens
of thousands of newcomers will be added to Arizona's popu­lation
in this and future years. To support this continuing
influx of new family units, thousands of jobs must be cre­ated-
and manufacturing industries are one of the most
logical sources.
In the past decade, Arizona manufacturing output has quad­rupled-
from 129 million dollars in 1949 to an estimated
550 million dollars in 1959. The job ratio increase has been
comparable. Manufacturing has joined mining, agriculture
and tourism as a major source of income. Furthermore, es­tablishment
of hundreds of new business and industrial con­cerns
in Arizona during the past decade has helped greatly
to broaden the State's tax base.
In addition, it must be remembered that new or expanded
manufacturing plants also help create new service jobs in
the community. E:conomists, in fact, are in agreement that
each new manufacturing job supports at least two new serv­ice
jobs. Thus, the 6,600 new manufacturing jobs created
in 1959 were responsible, in turn, for at least 13,0QQ, addi­tional
service positions of various kinds.
With these thoughts in mind, last year I created the special
post of industrial development aide in my office to help at­tract
new and desirable industry to Arizona-as well as assist
present business and industry, when requested, to plan ex­pansion
programs.
Arizona has a great deal to offer new industries: A favor­able
tax and physical climate, a strategic sales and geograph­ical
position, and a plentiful reservoir of skilled labor with
good productivity and low absenteeism.
Unfortunately, there are many types of desirable industry
still unrepresented on our industrial list. I am. hopeful that
the efforts of my office-in conjunction with this Legisla­ture,
The Arizona Development Board and many dedicated
public and private organizations-will help add new names
and products to our industrial roll call.
Space age and atomic research promise almost incredible
devices and materials designed to make human life safer,

more comfortable and more efficient in the future. Arizona
can well be the birthplace of many of these contributions to
mankind's welfare if we exert every effort to provide the
type of economic and cultural climate that will attract mo­dern
industry in increasing numbers.
I would like to take this opportunity to urge every considera­tion
be given Senator Morrow's bill providing for the de­velopment
and regulation of activities pertaining to the
peaceful uses of atomic energy. Senator Morrow has done
a great deal of work on this subject.
Both as a generator of income and jobs, tourism is big busi­ness
in Arizona today. Last year, tourist expenditures were
a minimum of 275 million dollars, triple the 1949 total. This
275 million dollar income, incidentally, represents a ratio
of 500 tourist dollars spent in Arizona for every dollar of
tourist promotion outlay by State and local agencies, cham­bers
of commerce and private firms.
We should keep in mind, too, that virtually every dollar of
our tourist income is taxable here, as well as being spent
here. Furthermore, these dollars are spent on all levels­public
and private-and their turnover within a calendar
year is estimated to be fourfold.
It is evident, therefore, that taxable tourist expenditures­a
most welcome source of funds-have the desirable effect
of boosting governmental revenues, thus affording a m.easure
of indirect tax relief to the homeowner.
Happily, Arizona is generously endowed with physical and
climatical attractions which can make possible a billion dol­lar
tourist industry in little more than a decade-provided
we make adequate financial support available to such agen­cies
as the Arizona Development Board. Therefore,
(1) I recommend that every consideration be
given the Board's request for an appropriation
increase so that it can expand those activities
needed to promote industrial development
and tourist income.
LIQUOR LICENSES AND CONTROL
In studying the various ramifications of the effect of the 1960
Federal census upon the liquor license quota system, I hope
you will give particular notice to the current sales price of
these licenses in relation to the revenue received by Ari­zona
from them.
In other words, in your deliberations concerning the num­ber
of licenses, I feel the primary frame of reference should
be this: Is the revenue to the State commensurate with the
value of the franchises granted by the State?
Moreover, I believe we should give very grave considera­tion
to the wisdom of issuing any additional licenses.
11
12
FIRST DAY
MONDAY, JANUARY 11, 1960
JOURNAL OF T'HE HOUSE
In particular, I wish to emphasize my personal opposition
to the issuance of any liquor licenses upon State operated
property. In this regard, I have particular reference to the
public grounds upon which we hold, annually, our Arizona
State Fair.
WATER AND POWER
A year ago, the end of Arizona's long struggle in the United
States Supreme Court to establish its rights to a fair share of
the waters of the Colorado River was in sight. I suggested
that, pending the successful termination of that action, we
should be concentrating on plans to make effective use of
the additional water which may be awarded to us by the
Court. Because of the apparent imminence of the Master's
report, it would be well for each House of the Legislature
to designate an interim committee to evaluate the findings
of the Master's report in order to be prepared should there
be a need for Legislative action.
This year will bring, also, a hearing before the Federal
Power Commission on Arizona's application for a license to
construct a complex of power dams on the Colorado River
and its tributaries.
Linked together as they are, these two needs-water di­version
and power development-are vital factors in the de­velopment
of our growing and pirospering State. Water is the
life blood of Arizona; power the measure of our potential.
OIL AND GAS
This year of 1960 may bring, too, a determination as to the
extent of our estimated large petroleum reserves. Test drill­ings
are to be made in Arizona which we hope will verify
geological evidence that we possess a great storehouse of oil
and gas wealth. Should our expectations be fulfilled, every
effort must be made to develop these resources as rapidly as
possible, yet consistent with good conservation practices.
This is imperative-for rapid development of our oil and gas
potential would produce vast new sources of revenue for our
State. In turn, this would mean ultimate tax relief for Ari­zona
homeowners through expanded payrolls, royalty pay­ments,
and other benefits. Therefore,
(1) I recommend an adequate appropriation for
the Oil and Gas Commission to help carry out
its important work.
SAVINGS AND LOAN CODE
I have been informed that this Legislature, through its
House Banking and Insurance Committee, has about com­pleted
work on legislation aimed at conecting a serious
fault in Arizona's governmental operations. I am. referring to
the State's apparent lack of adequate authority over savings
FIRST DAY

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE
and loan institutions and "thrift-type" companies. You are to
be commended for your efforts in this direction.
As most of you know, Arizona statutes presently relating to
such institutions are a patchwork. They have been amended
piecemeal and without due regard to other statutes.
Yet these organizations today represent thousands of citi­zen
accounts involving millions of dollars. We would be
derelict in our duty if we were not to see that these invest­ments
are adequately protected.
Therefore,
(1) I again recommend enactment of an ade­quate
modern savings and loan code.
(2) I recommend enactment of a companion bill
which would impose similarly-needed con­trols
over "thrift-type" organizations.
STATE LANDS
Historically, the policy of our State government on public
lands has been to place them in productive use, through lease
or public auction, so as to produce the greatest amount of
revenue possible~both to the State's general economy and
as a source of tax revenue.
It is my recommendation that this policy be pursued.
In this connection, our State Land Department, through its
commissioner, will soon present to you a series of recom­mendations
in the form of proposed bills which are designed
to accomplish this.
Among these bills, also, will be recommendations to help
simplify and streamline State Land Department operations.
I know this Legislature will give serious and thoughtful con­sideration
to these proposals.
INDIAN AFFAIRS
Today, we face a tremendous challenge in Arizona Indian
affairs. We find such growing problems as legal jurisdiction
on reservations, public school education for Indian children,
voting on reservations, and economic opportunities for In­dian
people.
This challenge concerns the entire State, for some 65,000
Indians of 14 tribes live on the 19 reservations that com­prise
nearly one-third of Arizona. An estimated 45,000 In­dian
people additionally live off the reservation.
At my request the Arizona Commission of Indian Affairs has
developed a long-range program based on the voluntary
cooperation of citizens who can contribute to a statewide
effort at the least possible cost to the State. On a basic annual
budget of $15,000 this Commission seeks to bring about the

mutual understanding and practical effort necessary be­tween
Indian and non-Indian citizens to achieve realistic
answers to these problems now facing Arizona.
STATE JUDICIAL SYSTEM
I am informed that this Legislature will be asked in the
near future to refer to a vote of the people a proposed con­stitutional
amendment aimed, primarily, at relieving our
presently overcrowded court dockets.
This is a laudable aim, and one to which I am sure you will
give your most careful consideration.
SEMI-CENTENNIAL COMMISSION
As you all know, the time is drawing near when Arizona
will observe its 50th Anniversary as a State. I believe it is
time we began making prep,c>rations for this historic event,
which will begin February 14, 1962.
Planning for such a commemoration should, of course, be
carried into every county and community of Arizona. How­ever,
I feel that the leadership and direction of such a cele­bration
should be from the State level. Therefore,
(1) I recommend that this Legislature create an
Arizona Semi-Centennial Commission, to consist
of both legislative and lay membership.
(2) I recommend that a reasonable appropriation
be made so that the Semi-Centennial Commission
can begin preparation of plans for the anniversary
observance.
TRAFFIC SAFETY
There is no more serious ptroblem facing the people of our
State than our appalling highway traffic fatality rate.
Last year, to a certain extent, this Legislature enacted laws
providing greater penalties for those driving violations
which have contributed so tragically to our death toll.
Apparently this was not enough. In the year just ended,
motor vehicle accidents upon our road system accounted for
514 more dead-a new all-time high. In addition, these acci­dents
brought injuries to 10,452 persons, and an economic
loss which has been estimated in excess of 66 million dollars.
This is a situation which Arizona can no longer tolerate. Yet,
you and I-and every citizen of this State-must accept some
measure of responsibility for our failure to prnvide ade­quate
remedy against it.
Recently, at my reques~, the Ariz~na Highvvay Commission
set up a research committeE: to begin prepar~t10n of a: report
evaluating Arizona's traffic safety needs m the light of

standards recommended by authorities in the field of traffic
accident prevention.
In the near future I plan to establish, by executive decree,
a co-ordinating committee which will be known as the "Gov­ernor's
Traffic Safety Co-ordi_riating Council." All State
departments and agencies which have primary responsibility
for traffic control and safety will be represented on this
council.
There is also an apparent need for a manual of uniform pro­cedures
to be made available to justices of the peace and
magistrates. And I would suggest that funds be appropriated
to finance such a project by the University of Arizona Col­lege
of Law.
Present inequities in our manslaughter-by-automobile pro­visions
should also be looked into. I believe there is a need
for legislation which would make civil and criminal actions
involving this type of accident completely separate and
independent.
Recently, the State Board of Education and the State High­way
Commission met, at my invitation, to study problems of
upgrading management of the operators of Arizona's largest
transportation system-our fleet of school buses. I am happy
to report that there was agreement on the points at issue
and that a program is now underway which will substan­tially
increase the safety of our school children.
It may become necessary, however, to revise Section 28-857
ARS, relative to overtaking and passing a school bus,
because of existing confusion.
I wish I could say that the above-mentioned actions and
recommendations would put an end to the carnage on our
highways. I cannot. While they promise certain benefits, I
firmly believe we must do much more than this. We must
boldly proclaim that the drunk driver, the negligent driver,
the irresponsible driver, be taken off our highways.
How are we to do this? By the simple expendient of depriv­ing
offending drivers of their right to operate a motor
vehicle, the length of suspension to be determined by the
seriousness of the offense.
This is not a new idea. Plans similar to this have produced
startling results in some Eastern states and in some neigh­boring
countries. Therefore, I recommend:
(1) Tho.t in addition to the system of penalties
now imposed by the courts of this State, this
Legislature make the operation of a motor vehicle
by an operator whose license has been revoked,
suspended or limited, a felony, to be dealt with by
the courts in the regular manner upon conviction.
(2) That upon first conviction for any moving
vehicle violation within 12 calendar months, of
15
16
Fl!RST DAY

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE
any offense other than drunk or reckless driving,
the license of the convicted vehicle operator be
suspended by the magistrate for a period of one
week.
(3) That upon second conviction for any moving
vehicle violation within 12 calendar months the li­cense
of the convicted operator be suspended for
one month.
( 4) That upon third such conviction in any 12
calendar months the license of the convicted vio­lator
be suspended for one year.
(5) In regard to those charged with drunk and
reckless driving, I suggest that upon first convic­tion
within 24 calendar months the convicted
operator's license be suspended for a period of one
month.
(6) That upon second such conviction within
any 24 calendar months the convicted operator's
license be suspended for a period of one year.
(7) That upon third such conviction in any 24
calendar months the convicted operator's license
be suspended for a period of three years.
(8) That this Legislature again give considera­tion
to a substantial increase in the membership
of our Arizona Highway Patrol so that traffic laws
can be adequately enforced.
I realize that what I have recommended here are stern
measures. However, in my opinion, they will have a greater
effect on the indifferent motorist than any system of fines
ever devised. Moreover, they will remove from our high­ways
the consistent violator who refuses to respect the
life and the property of his fellow citizen.
The time has come for stern measures. Let us face up to the
problem courageously-stop talking about highway de.aths
-and do something about death on our highways.
By faithful and courageous dedication to duty, and with
God's help, we can justify the confidence which the people
of Arizona have placed in us.

REPORTS OF SELECT COMMITTEES
The Interim Committee, appointed to study needs and advisability
for purchase nf property and construction of buildings by Industrial
Commission, submitted the following report:
20
SECOND DAY
TUESDAY, JANUARY 12, 1960
JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE
To the Members of the Second Regular Session of the
Twenty-fourth Arizona Legislature:
The report of the Special Committee of the House assigned
to study needs and the advisability for the purchase of prop­erty
and construction of buildings of the Industrial Commis­sion
is submitted herewith.
The committee met with the Industrial Commission on May
22, 1959, for preliminary discussion on the proposed Indus­trial
Commission Building, to be constructed with Industrial
Commission surplus funds.
The committee toured the present facilities of the commis­sion
and found them crowded and inadequate. At the present
time several Industrial Commission departments. are housed
in temporary quarters in what formerly were private homes.
Your committee also met with Don Lockwood of the Plan­ning
and Building Commission, and he stated that the land
available for the proposed building could be sold by the
state to the Commission for $72,679.75, which is actual cost
plus improvements. He also stated that the Federal Gov­ernment
would advance 1112 % of the total cost for advanced
architects fees. This money will be repaid only if the build­ing
is constructed.
Mr. Floyd Neitert, of the Attorney General's office was
consulted on the legality of the commission constructing
its own building and rendered an all opinion that the Legis­lature
had the power to authorize the construction.
It was also pointed out that the building would remain the
property of the Industrial Commission and not of the State.
A written opinion on this matter was to be supplied to the
committee at a later date.
The commission was requested to obtain preliminary esti­mates
on cost of the proposed building and report back to
the committee on November 12, 1959.
A second meeting of your committee was held November 12,
1959, at which time the Industrial Commission presented
plans and cost estimates for the proposed building.
Preliminary plans had been drawn under instructions from
the Planning and Building Commission using federal ad­vance
monies. Plans presented by the commission were for
a three story building and basement with an estimated cost
of $882,223.00 plus a regular architects fees and the amount
previously stated for the purchase of land from the state.
The commission stated that this would take care of their
needs for approximately eight years after completion of the
building and that the building foundations were planned
to provide for the addition of a fourth story at that time.
It was the feeling of the committee that a substantial saving
could be realized if the fourth story were completed at the
same time as the original construction.
SECOND DAY
TUESDAY, JANUARY 12, 1960
JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE
The Industrial Commission was then requested to prepare
further cost estimates based on the four story building.
In this regard it should be pointed out that the growth rate
for the Industrial Commission envisions a projected figure
of 505 employees by January of 1970 as compared to 300
employees at the present time.
The number of claims processed by the commission have
been increasing at the rate of approximately 3,000 per year.
The additional story could be utilized by other state depart­ments
until such time as needed by the Industrial Commis­sion
which evidently will be in the near future.
Monies for the building construction will come from the
Industrial Commission surplus fund which on December 31,
1958, totaled $6,149,858.10. In addition there is a catastrophe
fund of $5,803,862.72. However, the latter fund will not be
used for building purposes.
It should also be pointed out that the commission has ap­proximately
$52,000,000.00 in assets.
In response to a question from the committee as to the cost
of the building to policy holders, the Industrial Commis­sion
estimated that the cost to each policy holder would be
approximately two to three dollars per year which would
be reflected in the loss of interest currently drawn from
bond investment.
The committee reconvened December 11, 1959. Also present
were Don Lockwood of the Planning and Building Commis­sion,
and the three members of the Industrial Commission.
The commission presented figures indicating that the total
cost of a four· story and basement building would approxi­mate
$1,281,517.00. This structure would serve the needs of
the Industrial Commission as projected to the year 1970 and
possibly beyond.
The committee noted that no provisions had been made for
adequate parking facilities.
In summary there is no doubt that the building is urgently
needed and that the money is available in the Industrial
Commission surplus fund.
Your committee is satisfied with the legality of the building
proposed.
The committee is not unanimous: on the issue of using em­ployer
funds to erect a building for the use of the Indus­trial
Commission.
It is recommended that should a proposal be advanced in
the Legislature for the erection of the building that a
maximum limit be placed on the authorized expenditure
for this purpose.

JOINT SESSION OF THE SENATE AND HOUSE OF
REPRESENTATIVE'S OF' THE TWENTY-FOURTH
LEGISLATURE, SECOND REGULAR SESSION,
OF THE STATE OF ARIZONA
The Joint Session of the Twenty-fourth Legislature, Second Regular
Session, of the State of Arizona was called to order at 10: 30 A.M.,
by Senator Clarence L. Carpenter, of Gila County, President of the
Senate.
A quorum of both Houses was present.
At 10: 31 A.M., the Joint Senate and House Committee consisting of
Senators Corbett, Udine and Bollinger and Representatives T'idwell,
Wessler and Walker returned escorting His Excellency, Paul Fannin,
the Governor of Arizona. The Governor, who was introduced by
President Carpenter, delivered the following message:
BUDGET MESSAGE
Mr. President, Mr. Speaker, Members of the Arizona Senate
and House of Representatives, fellow Arizonans:
Once again we are faced with the problem of financing our
State government from sources of revenue which are inade­quate
to meet the requests of our various departments,
agencies and commissions without imposing a further burden
upon our taxpayers.
It is a task no one should envy us. Yet I need not tell you
that the bulk of the responsibility now lies in the lap of this
Legislature, particularly its hardworking Appropriations
Committees.
It is a relatively simple matter for me, as Governor of this
State, to come before you with certain specific financial re­quests.
But, it is primarily up to you to determine whether
these requests can be met and, if so, how best to meet them.
Let me assure you now that I am ready to give freely of my
time and effort to assist you in any way I can.
The large volume which I transmitted to you on Monday is
nothing more than a compilation of budget requests from
some 70 State departments, agencies and commissions, to­gether
with guiding information on past, present and pro­jected
revenues.
But there is not included in it the budget of the Arizona
Highway Department, capital outlay items or appropriations
to the Legislature itself.
As you know, this State does not provide the Governor with
facilities for budget preparation nor for detailed reports
upon the State's financial standing.
In a practical sense, therefore, the Public Finance Code as it
relates to the duties of the State Auditor and Governor in the
field of budget preparation is wholly inadequate.
TENTH DAY
WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 20, 1960
JOURNAL OF THE, HOUSE:
I would suggest this Legislature give careful study to means
whereby this situation can be corrected. Perhaps it can best
be handled through the setting up of a State budget officer.
Prior to the convening of this session, members of your Ap­propriations
Committees officially began the arduous and
difficult task of fashioning the next fiscal year budget to
fit more nearly the revenues we may safely expect.
In their deliberations these committees must look ahead
six months. They must not only make a calculated guess
as to the existence and size of a general fund surplus
next June 30, but also must calculate, from information
supplied by those charged with tax collections, the prob­able
general fund income from excise and income taxes,
from fees and other revenues.
Every dollar by which the budget, as finally adopted, ex­ceeds
estimated revenue and end-of-year surplus must be
raised by the state property tax, which falls upon homes,
business, industry and other properties.
Last year, this Legislature appropriated $88,160,914 from the
State general fund, not including capital outlay, Highway
Department expenditures or appropriations for the operation
of the Legislature.
This year, and excluding the same items as above, the fund
requests of our various State Departments and agencies
amount to a total of $100,269,212. This represents an increase
of more than 12 million dollars over last year's appropri­ations,
or approximately 11.4 per cent.
I realize that past history has shown many of our State
government agencies are inclined to ask for the maximum
in appropriations, rather than the minimum. However, even
considering this, we must keep in mind that the figures I
have presented here do not include such items as capital
outlay.
Clearly, something must yield if we are to meet this State's
obligations without levying an increasingly punishing prop­erty
tax rate upon our citizens. That rate this year, inci­dentally,
was $1.70 per $100 of property valuation-the high­est
in State history.
A moment ago I described the task faced by your Appropri­ations
Committees as a difficult one.
A government is not like private industry, which can more
easily reduce its operation to conform to expected revenue.
Furthermore, your state government differs in that it is
deeply involved in areas of human welfare. Its business
is the people of this State.
It requires fortitude and wisdom to divide a definitely
limited number of revenue dollars among the far-from­limited
needs and demands of our state hospital and other
institutions, our universities and colleges, our. correctional

establishments and our welfare and public health depart­ments.
The past record of this Legislature in facing up to the reality
of the situation has been courageous. I am sure this Session
will find no lack of that same courage.
This is not an easy task. Our rapid growth has brought
many financial problems to the State. We will, however,
meet our true obligations both in the material and in the
human sense. And we will do this despite the likelihood of
a continuing high state property tax rate.
Where then do we start?
I have one over-all recommendation: That we "take first
things first." This means every appropriation request must
be weighed in the light of immediate need-and that those
items held less essential be postponed or modified.
We must meet our obligations, of course. But as elected rep­resentatives
of our taxpaying citizens, I think it is our duty
to determine just what these obligations are.
I
This Legislature now has, or soon will have before it, a
procession of requests for capital outlay items which I have
not included in the general fund figures quoted earlier.
For example, funds have been asked for a new women's
prison at Florence. Our Arizona Children's Colony is seek­ing
an appropriation for expansion of its facilities at Ran­dolph.
The University of Arizona, Arizona State University
and Arizona State College at Flagstaff are asking construc­tion
budgets which total into many millions of dollars.
There are many other requests.
Needless to say, all or nearly all of these appeals have merit.
I firmly believe they were submitted to this Legislature after
long and thoughtful study. Many of them are of tremendous
importance to the future of our State.
Nevertheless, we must face up to reality. We must ask our­selves
whether our State can afford at this time all of the
capital outlay items requested.
I do not believe it can.
We must therefore make every effort to approve only those
capital expenditures which are immediately necessary. I
know your Appropriations Committees are already work­ing
toward this end.
II
There is another approach whereby this Legislature can
effect ultimate savings for our State. This is in the procure­ment
of supplies by our various departments, agencies and
commissions.
TENTH DAY
WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 20, 1960
JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE
As you know, most State departments now do their own pur­chasing,
much of it in small-lot quantities. This imposes a
premium price upon the items bought. We can no longer af­ford
this luxury.
There is another matter. This is our present method of pur­chase
and assignment for use of State-owned automobiles.
I do not believe this is now being handled in the most
efficient manner and has resulted in a surplus of gov­ernment
vehicles. Creation of a State motor pool should
be considered by this Legislature as a possible answer to this
problem.
One more word.
Since assuming the office of Governor a year ago, it has
become increasingly apparent to me that there is a need for
more efficient business practices within our various depart­ments
and agencies.
Particularly, there is a need for better intra-department
accounting and cash controls, which is provided for by law
but which is not now being carried out.
I believe the establishment of a State central purchasing
agency should go hand-in-hand with setting up of uniform
business procedures within all State agencies. The reason
for this is that the success of a central purchasing program
would depend to a large extent upon the proper handling
of accounts and records within the departments with which
it must deal.
(1) I recommend the establishment of a State
central purchasing agency.
III
For many years, it has been generally agreed that job classi­fication
of our State government workers is a necessity,
particularly among the non-administrative positions. There
is good reason for this.
For one thing, it would help eliminate friction between those
employees who are doing similar work but getting dissimilar
pay.
For another-and more important, it seems to me-it would
halt the loss of State-trained wor

was introduced by President Carpenter, delivered the following mes­sage:
GOVERNOR'S MESSAGE
Mr. President, Mr. Speaker, Members of the Arizona Senate
and House of Representatives, fellow Arizonans:
We meet here today under historic circumstances. You will
be the last Arizona Legislature to convene in regular session
in this, the original State Capitol Building.
Let us not forget that it was in this room that the Constitu­tion
of our State was written and submitted to the people of
the frontier Territory of Arizona.
It was here, forty-eight years ago next March, that our First
State Legislature convened to hear the executive message of
the Old Roman, George W. P. Hunt.
On that occasion Governor Hunt predicted that Arizona's
future would far exceed (and I quote) "the brightest dreams
vouchsafed in the past to Arizona's optimistic and uncon­querable
pioneers."
Blessings have indeed come to Arizona. From the beginning,
the hardy independence of our people assured that our State
would become one of the truly great commonwealths. In the
last twenty years our economic and population growth, a na­tional
phenomenon, have proved this.
Blessings, though, are never unmixed. Nowhere has the
effect of the growth of this State been more seriously re­flected
than in the cost of our Government and related ac­tivities.
Twenty years ago, in 1940, when indications of Arizona's
modern expansion were first seen, the Legislature's general
fund appropriation was $7,081,719.
Last year our Legislature appropriated from the State gen­eral
fund $93,552,364. Last year's appropriation was an in­crease
of more than $22 million dollars over the 1958 gen­eral
fund outlay.
Bear in mind that this single year's budget-increase alone
was three times as great as the entire general fund budget
just two decades before.
EDUCATION
We are all aware that the greater part of the 1959 budget
increase was embodied in the 61 per cent raise in the State
appropriation for public schools.
The ratio of cost of Arizona schools has far outdistanced our
population growth. Two decades ago the taxpayers of this
State were providing an average of $122 per student for the
education of 89,025 elementary and high school students.
6
FIRST DAY
MONDAY, JANUARY 11, 1960
JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE
Last year our student total was 242,111 and the average per
student support was $429.24.
Twenty years ago the total overall Arizona tax expenditure
for the common and high schools was $11,752,702. This year
the taxpayers of Arizona will have provided more than $130
million dollars for these same schools.
It is right and proper that education should by far command
the largest part of our State and local tax dollar and our
greatest concern.
If the day should come when that is not true, then this will
no longer be the America our forefathers conceived; for it
was their conception that the public schools of this Nation
should be the one government responsibility closest to the
people.
To that end, I expressed to you in my message last year my
conviction that Arizona should remove the constitutional
barrier against service upon the State Board of Education of
Arizonans who are not directly employed in our educa­tional
system. Arizona is the only State where such a barrier
exists.
Historically, the educational profession itself has disclaimed
any request for dominant representation on such boards.
therefore,
(1) I recommend that this Legislature refer to
the ballot a constitutional amendment re­quiring
that membership on the State Board
of Education be representative of the general
public, as well as of the profession of educa­tion.
(2) I also recommend that companion legislation
be enacted requiring the State Board of Edu­cation
to redefine the State's basic philosophy
and approach to education and to define edu­cation's
primary goals and responsibilities.
Over the years, the major endeavor in this State has been
toward achieving equal financial support for the basic edu­cation
of each youngster regardless of geographic location
or economic status of his school district.
Last year, through enactment of the School Finance Act
of 1959, this Legislature made more progress toward that
goal than any Legislature in the State's history. And I com­mend
you for your work.
On the other hand, the measure of the strength of education
cannot be counted alone in terms of dollars spent.
There is another and a far more important standard. It is the
standard of education itself.
FIRST DAY
MONDAY, JANUARY 11, 1960
JOURNAL OF T'HE. HOUSE
What education are we providing our children for the 130
million dollars we are this year spending upon our common
and high schools?
The present crisis in world history imperatively demands an
answer to that question as does the ever-mounting burden
of taxation.
Only by clearly defining our educational goals will we re­ceive
a full dollar's worth of value for every tax dollar spent
for schools.
We must know where to minimize and where to concentrate
or strengthen. We cannot afford dissipation of precious and
costly school time in non-essential refinements if we are to
be able fully to meet our financial obligations. to our schools
and our moral obligations to our youth and to our Nation.
I must say here that it is my opinion that as a people we have
been derelict in defining just what we do expect of our edu­cational
system.
It is also my opinion that today the overwhelming majority
of our citizens are deeply concerned with this lack. They
would welcome a clear and understandable breakdown of
our school system's curriculum and objectives, as they now
exist.
There is a quotation from Abraham Lincoln which fits our
situation. On a subject of his times, Mr. Lincoln once said:
"If we could first know where we are, and whither we are
tending, we could better judge what to do and how to do
it."
Next year, therefore, must be one of decision in the field
of school curriculum. The people of Arizona, the State School
Board (however constituted), local school trustees, and our
teachers and our State and local administrators, cannot prop­erly
approach the problem unless they have at hand a clear
and adequately documented survey of the propiOrtionate
weights in our present courses of study and school activity.
Nor will the public be prepared and willing to meet its re­sponsibility
unless properly informed. Therefore,
(3) I recommend that this Legislature confer with
the State Superintendent of Public Instruction
and other proper authorities to determine the
scope, cost, and methods of research necessary
to provide complete factual information on the
existing curriculum in our public school sys­tem.
Such a report should be submitted to our
State and local school boards and our school
authorities in January, 1961, and be available
to the general public. The report should make
readily understandable the present quantity
in hours of instruction devoted to specific
subjects and activities at the high school and
other levels, as determined. It is my recom-

JOURNAL OF THE'. HOUSE,
mendation that the Governor be authorized to
create a committee, to be composed of rep­resentatives
of the Office of State, Superin­tendent
of Public Instruction and our school
boards, the educational profession, labor,
business, industry and the Parent-Teachers
Association, to act in an advisory capacity in
securing this information. It is further my
recommendation that an appropriation be
made, sufficient to meet the costs of such a
survey and to employ proper personnel to
compile the information sought.
Arizona's present minimum requirements are immediately
available. So is much of the other material necessary for
such an inquiry. Our devoted school boards and our educa­tional
authorities have made continuous study in the field
of curriculum.
For exampJe, the State Board in recent months authorized a
curriculum revision study as did the Arizona Education As­sociation,
which further points up the need for comprehen­sive
overall information.
The youth of America, given the challenge of intellectual
disciplines that demand the very best of their ability, will
outdo the youth of any land.
Let us in Arizona create such a challenge.
In this session you will be considering the advisability of ap­propriating
matching funds for participation in the National
Defense Education Act. I suggest that there is a surer, safer
road to education for maximum freedoms and productive and
creative achievement than Federal patronage.
In its first session last year this Legislature adopted the
School Finance Act of 1959. Supporting school revenue was
provided by the enactment of a special education tax in the
form of a 50 per cent increase in the State privilege license
tax.
This act, embodying features beyond the capacity of earlier
Legislatures, and its companion revenue measure, provided
our schools with an additional 18 million dollars. As a re­sult-
and for the first time in many, many years-the gen­eral
total of school district taxes decreased instead of in­creased.
Tax authorities with whom I have conferred are pessimistic
about chances of further decreases next year in school dis­trict
taxes. In fact, a number of them seriously doubt if the
districts can even hold the line against increases unless
rigid economy is practiced.
An argument most frequently used against creating needed
school funds at the constitutional State level for the special
relief of individual distressed school districts is the wide
variation in property assessment ratios in the 14 counties. It

is charged that in this State there exists no really reliable as­sessment
yardstick of comparative real property wealth.
Therefore,
( 4) I recommend that this Legislature renew its
consultations with the County Assessors and
the State Tax Commission relative to financial
and other requirements for the latter body
fully to carry out its legal duty of establishing
uniformity of assessment practices in each of
the Counties of the State.
I commend you for your interim committee work on the re­codification
of our school laws. Your passage of the recodi­fication
amendments this year would eliminate many incon­sistencies
and conflicts which have accumulated over the
years. This action would undoubtedly make it easier for
school boards and administrators to do a better job.
I trust that you will give serious consideration in this ses­sion
to the recommendations of your Junior College Survey
Committee. The early establishment of several adequately
sized and equipped Junior Colleges would strengthen Ari­zona's
education and help to meet several very pressing
needs.
Junior Colleges of the type recommended by your commit­tee,
I understand, would provide both technical terminal
courses as well as college parallel courses. The rapidly grow­ing
manufacturing industry in this State has great need for
more and more technically trained personnel. Many of our
youth want and need the opportunity of acquiring market­able
skills of the type which could be profitably offered by
Junior Colleges.
Needless to say, the pressures upon our four-year Universi­ties
and College are mounting so rapidly that they may soon
be forced to a size too large for maximum efficiency and ef­fectiveness.
A well planned Junior College system could do
a great deal to relieve this situation.
In discussing any subject involving increased or additional
expenditures I am aware that excise and income tax reve­nues
of the State Government this year have been seriously
affected as the result of work stoppages and strikes in Ari­zona.
In normal years the copper mining industry accounts for
almost one-fourth of our State income tax revenue. The
construction industry, which earlier suffered a work stop­page,
is also a considerable factor in State income taxes.
Excise tax collections have been hit; not only as the tax falls
directly upon sales by the mining industry and the activity
of the construction industry, but also due to lessening of the
vast sums in wages and purchases which normally flow into
our economy.

FIRST DAY
MONDAY, JANUARY 11, 1960
JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE
Next week when I deliver the budget message and present
to you the requests of the various State departments, insti­tutions
and agencies, I shall in detail discuss certain fiscal
aspects of the State Government. Among other items to be
presented at that time will be capital expenditures for State
institutions and the needs in such fields as, welfare and public
health and the other requirements of our rapidly growing
State.
The appropriation increases which I am recommending today
are those primarily designed to increase the State's revenue.
INDUSTRIAL AND TOURIST DEVELOPMENT
For reasons of health, scenery, climate and the like, tens
of thousands of newcomers will be added to Arizona's popu­lation
in this and future years. To support this continuing
influx of new family units, thousands of jobs must be cre­ated-
and manufacturing industries are one of the most
logical sources.
In the past decade, Arizona manufacturing output has quad­rupled-
from 129 million dollars in 1949 to an estimated
550 million dollars in 1959. The job ratio increase has been
comparable. Manufacturing has joined mining, agriculture
and tourism as a major source of income. Furthermore, es­tablishment
of hundreds of new business and industrial con­cerns
in Arizona during the past decade has helped greatly
to broaden the State's tax base.
In addition, it must be remembered that new or expanded
manufacturing plants also help create new service jobs in
the community. E:conomists, in fact, are in agreement that
each new manufacturing job supports at least two new serv­ice
jobs. Thus, the 6,600 new manufacturing jobs created
in 1959 were responsible, in turn, for at least 13,0QQ, addi­tional
service positions of various kinds.
With these thoughts in mind, last year I created the special
post of industrial development aide in my office to help at­tract
new and desirable industry to Arizona-as well as assist
present business and industry, when requested, to plan ex­pansion
programs.
Arizona has a great deal to offer new industries: A favor­able
tax and physical climate, a strategic sales and geograph­ical
position, and a plentiful reservoir of skilled labor with
good productivity and low absenteeism.
Unfortunately, there are many types of desirable industry
still unrepresented on our industrial list. I am. hopeful that
the efforts of my office-in conjunction with this Legisla­ture,
The Arizona Development Board and many dedicated
public and private organizations-will help add new names
and products to our industrial roll call.
Space age and atomic research promise almost incredible
devices and materials designed to make human life safer,

more comfortable and more efficient in the future. Arizona
can well be the birthplace of many of these contributions to
mankind's welfare if we exert every effort to provide the
type of economic and cultural climate that will attract mo­dern
industry in increasing numbers.
I would like to take this opportunity to urge every considera­tion
be given Senator Morrow's bill providing for the de­velopment
and regulation of activities pertaining to the
peaceful uses of atomic energy. Senator Morrow has done
a great deal of work on this subject.
Both as a generator of income and jobs, tourism is big busi­ness
in Arizona today. Last year, tourist expenditures were
a minimum of 275 million dollars, triple the 1949 total. This
275 million dollar income, incidentally, represents a ratio
of 500 tourist dollars spent in Arizona for every dollar of
tourist promotion outlay by State and local agencies, cham­bers
of commerce and private firms.
We should keep in mind, too, that virtually every dollar of
our tourist income is taxable here, as well as being spent
here. Furthermore, these dollars are spent on all levels­public
and private-and their turnover within a calendar
year is estimated to be fourfold.
It is evident, therefore, that taxable tourist expenditures­a
most welcome source of funds-have the desirable effect
of boosting governmental revenues, thus affording a m.easure
of indirect tax relief to the homeowner.
Happily, Arizona is generously endowed with physical and
climatical attractions which can make possible a billion dol­lar
tourist industry in little more than a decade-provided
we make adequate financial support available to such agen­cies
as the Arizona Development Board. Therefore,
(1) I recommend that every consideration be
given the Board's request for an appropriation
increase so that it can expand those activities
needed to promote industrial development
and tourist income.
LIQUOR LICENSES AND CONTROL
In studying the various ramifications of the effect of the 1960
Federal census upon the liquor license quota system, I hope
you will give particular notice to the current sales price of
these licenses in relation to the revenue received by Ari­zona
from them.
In other words, in your deliberations concerning the num­ber
of licenses, I feel the primary frame of reference should
be this: Is the revenue to the State commensurate with the
value of the franchises granted by the State?
Moreover, I believe we should give very grave considera­tion
to the wisdom of issuing any additional licenses.
11
12
FIRST DAY
MONDAY, JANUARY 11, 1960
JOURNAL OF T'HE HOUSE
In particular, I wish to emphasize my personal opposition
to the issuance of any liquor licenses upon State operated
property. In this regard, I have particular reference to the
public grounds upon which we hold, annually, our Arizona
State Fair.
WATER AND POWER
A year ago, the end of Arizona's long struggle in the United
States Supreme Court to establish its rights to a fair share of
the waters of the Colorado River was in sight. I suggested
that, pending the successful termination of that action, we
should be concentrating on plans to make effective use of
the additional water which may be awarded to us by the
Court. Because of the apparent imminence of the Master's
report, it would be well for each House of the Legislature
to designate an interim committee to evaluate the findings
of the Master's report in order to be prepared should there
be a need for Legislative action.
This year will bring, also, a hearing before the Federal
Power Commission on Arizona's application for a license to
construct a complex of power dams on the Colorado River
and its tributaries.
Linked together as they are, these two needs-water di­version
and power development-are vital factors in the de­velopment
of our growing and pirospering State. Water is the
life blood of Arizona; power the measure of our potential.
OIL AND GAS
This year of 1960 may bring, too, a determination as to the
extent of our estimated large petroleum reserves. Test drill­ings
are to be made in Arizona which we hope will verify
geological evidence that we possess a great storehouse of oil
and gas wealth. Should our expectations be fulfilled, every
effort must be made to develop these resources as rapidly as
possible, yet consistent with good conservation practices.
This is imperative-for rapid development of our oil and gas
potential would produce vast new sources of revenue for our
State. In turn, this would mean ultimate tax relief for Ari­zona
homeowners through expanded payrolls, royalty pay­ments,
and other benefits. Therefore,
(1) I recommend an adequate appropriation for
the Oil and Gas Commission to help carry out
its important work.
SAVINGS AND LOAN CODE
I have been informed that this Legislature, through its
House Banking and Insurance Committee, has about com­pleted
work on legislation aimed at conecting a serious
fault in Arizona's governmental operations. I am. referring to
the State's apparent lack of adequate authority over savings
FIRST DAY

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE
and loan institutions and "thrift-type" companies. You are to
be commended for your efforts in this direction.
As most of you know, Arizona statutes presently relating to
such institutions are a patchwork. They have been amended
piecemeal and without due regard to other statutes.
Yet these organizations today represent thousands of citi­zen
accounts involving millions of dollars. We would be
derelict in our duty if we were not to see that these invest­ments
are adequately protected.
Therefore,
(1) I again recommend enactment of an ade­quate
modern savings and loan code.
(2) I recommend enactment of a companion bill
which would impose similarly-needed con­trols
over "thrift-type" organizations.
STATE LANDS
Historically, the policy of our State government on public
lands has been to place them in productive use, through lease
or public auction, so as to produce the greatest amount of
revenue possible~both to the State's general economy and
as a source of tax revenue.
It is my recommendation that this policy be pursued.
In this connection, our State Land Department, through its
commissioner, will soon present to you a series of recom­mendations
in the form of proposed bills which are designed
to accomplish this.
Among these bills, also, will be recommendations to help
simplify and streamline State Land Department operations.
I know this Legislature will give serious and thoughtful con­sideration
to these proposals.
INDIAN AFFAIRS
Today, we face a tremendous challenge in Arizona Indian
affairs. We find such growing problems as legal jurisdiction
on reservations, public school education for Indian children,
voting on reservations, and economic opportunities for In­dian
people.
This challenge concerns the entire State, for some 65,000
Indians of 14 tribes live on the 19 reservations that com­prise
nearly one-third of Arizona. An estimated 45,000 In­dian
people additionally live off the reservation.
At my request the Arizona Commission of Indian Affairs has
developed a long-range program based on the voluntary
cooperation of citizens who can contribute to a statewide
effort at the least possible cost to the State. On a basic annual
budget of $15,000 this Commission seeks to bring about the

I am informed that this Legislature will be asked in the
near future to refer to a vote of the people a proposed con­stitutional
amendment aimed, primarily, at relieving our
presently overcrowded court dockets.
This is a laudable aim, and one to which I am sure you will
give your most careful consideration.
SEMI-CENTENNIAL COMMISSION
As you all know, the time is drawing near when Arizona
will observe its 50th Anniversary as a State. I believe it is
time we began making prep,c>rations for this historic event,
which will begin February 14, 1962.
Planning for such a commemoration should, of course, be
carried into every county and community of Arizona. How­ever,
I feel that the leadership and direction of such a cele­bration
should be from the State level. Therefore,
(1) I recommend that this Legislature create an
Arizona Semi-Centennial Commission, to consist
of both legislative and lay membership.
(2) I recommend that a reasonable appropriation
be made so that the Semi-Centennial Commission
can begin preparation of plans for the anniversary
observance.
TRAFFIC SAFETY
There is no more serious ptroblem facing the people of our
State than our appalling highway traffic fatality rate.
Last year, to a certain extent, this Legislature enacted laws
providing greater penalties for those driving violations
which have contributed so tragically to our death toll.
Apparently this was not enough. In the year just ended,
motor vehicle accidents upon our road system accounted for
514 more dead-a new all-time high. In addition, these acci­dents
brought injuries to 10,452 persons, and an economic
loss which has been estimated in excess of 66 million dollars.
This is a situation which Arizona can no longer tolerate. Yet,
you and I-and every citizen of this State-must accept some
measure of responsibility for our failure to prnvide ade­quate
remedy against it.
Recently, at my reques~, the Ariz~na Highvvay Commission
set up a research committeE: to begin prepar~t10n of a: report
evaluating Arizona's traffic safety needs m the light of
FIRST IDAY
MONDAY, JANUARY U, 1960
JOURNAL OF THE, HOUSEi
standards recommended by authorities in the field of traffic
accident prevention.
In the near future I plan to establish, by executive decree,
a co-ordinating committee which will be known as the "Gov­ernor's
Traffic Safety Co-ordi_riating Council." All State
departments and agencies which have primary responsibility
for traffic control and safety will be represented on this
council.
There is also an apparent need for a manual of uniform pro­cedures
to be made available to justices of the peace and
magistrates. And I would suggest that funds be appropriated
to finance such a project by the University of Arizona Col­lege
of Law.
Present inequities in our manslaughter-by-automobile pro­visions
should also be looked into. I believe there is a need
for legislation which would make civil and criminal actions
involving this type of accident completely separate and
independent.
Recently, the State Board of Education and the State High­way
Commission met, at my invitation, to study problems of
upgrading management of the operators of Arizona's largest
transportation system-our fleet of school buses. I am happy
to report that there was agreement on the points at issue
and that a program is now underway which will substan­tially
increase the safety of our school children.
It may become necessary, however, to revise Section 28-857
ARS, relative to overtaking and passing a school bus,
because of existing confusion.
I wish I could say that the above-mentioned actions and
recommendations would put an end to the carnage on our
highways. I cannot. While they promise certain benefits, I
firmly believe we must do much more than this. We must
boldly proclaim that the drunk driver, the negligent driver,
the irresponsible driver, be taken off our highways.
How are we to do this? By the simple expendient of depriv­ing
offending drivers of their right to operate a motor
vehicle, the length of suspension to be determined by the
seriousness of the offense.
This is not a new idea. Plans similar to this have produced
startling results in some Eastern states and in some neigh­boring
countries. Therefore, I recommend:
(1) Tho.t in addition to the system of penalties
now imposed by the courts of this State, this
Legislature make the operation of a motor vehicle
by an operator whose license has been revoked,
suspended or limited, a felony, to be dealt with by
the courts in the regular manner upon conviction.
(2) That upon first conviction for any moving
vehicle violation within 12 calendar months, of
15
16
Fl!RST DAY
MONDAY, JANUARY 11, 1960
JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE
any offense other than drunk or reckless driving,
the license of the convicted vehicle operator be
suspended by the magistrate for a period of one
week.
(3) That upon second conviction for any moving
vehicle violation within 12 calendar months the li­cense
of the convicted operator be suspended for
one month.
( 4) That upon third such conviction in any 12
calendar months the license of the convicted vio­lator
be suspended for one year.
(5) In regard to those charged with drunk and
reckless driving, I suggest that upon first convic­tion
within 24 calendar months the convicted
operator's license be suspended for a period of one
month.
(6) That upon second such conviction within
any 24 calendar months the convicted operator's
license be suspended for a period of one year.
(7) That upon third such conviction in any 24
calendar months the convicted operator's license
be suspended for a period of three years.
(8) That this Legislature again give considera­tion
to a substantial increase in the membership
of our Arizona Highway Patrol so that traffic laws
can be adequately enforced.
I realize that what I have recommended here are stern
measures. However, in my opinion, they will have a greater
effect on the indifferent motorist than any system of fines
ever devised. Moreover, they will remove from our high­ways
the consistent violator who refuses to respect the
life and the property of his fellow citizen.
The time has come for stern measures. Let us face up to the
problem courageously-stop talking about highway de.aths
-and do something about death on our highways.
By faithful and courageous dedication to duty, and with
God's help, we can justify the confidence which the people
of Arizona have placed in us.

REPORTS OF SELECT COMMITTEES
The Interim Committee, appointed to study needs and advisability
for purchase nf property and construction of buildings by Industrial
Commission, submitted the following report:
20
SECOND DAY
TUESDAY, JANUARY 12, 1960
JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE
To the Members of the Second Regular Session of the
Twenty-fourth Arizona Legislature:
The report of the Special Committee of the House assigned
to study needs and the advisability for the purchase of prop­erty
and construction of buildings of the Industrial Commis­sion
is submitted herewith.
The committee met with the Industrial Commission on May
22, 1959, for preliminary discussion on the proposed Indus­trial
Commission Building, to be constructed with Industrial
Commission surplus funds.
The committee toured the present facilities of the commis­sion
and found them crowded and inadequate. At the present
time several Industrial Commission departments. are housed
in temporary quarters in what formerly were private homes.
Your committee also met with Don Lockwood of the Plan­ning
and Building Commission, and he stated that the land
available for the proposed building could be sold by the
state to the Commission for $72,679.75, which is actual cost
plus improvements. He also stated that the Federal Gov­ernment
would advance 1112 % of the total cost for advanced
architects fees. This money will be repaid only if the build­ing
is constructed.
Mr. Floyd Neitert, of the Attorney General's office was
consulted on the legality of the commission constructing
its own building and rendered an all opinion that the Legis­lature
had the power to authorize the construction.
It was also pointed out that the building would remain the
property of the Industrial Commission and not of the State.
A written opinion on this matter was to be supplied to the
committee at a later date.
The commission was requested to obtain preliminary esti­mates
on cost of the proposed building and report back to
the committee on November 12, 1959.
A second meeting of your committee was held November 12,
1959, at which time the Industrial Commission presented
plans and cost estimates for the proposed building.
Preliminary plans had been drawn under instructions from
the Planning and Building Commission using federal ad­vance
monies. Plans presented by the commission were for
a three story building and basement with an estimated cost
of $882,223.00 plus a regular architects fees and the amount
previously stated for the purchase of land from the state.
The commission stated that this would take care of their
needs for approximately eight years after completion of the
building and that the building foundations were planned
to provide for the addition of a fourth story at that time.
It was the feeling of the committee that a substantial saving
could be realized if the fourth story were completed at the
same time as the original construction.
SECOND DAY
TUESDAY, JANUARY 12, 1960
JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE
The Industrial Commission was then requested to prepare
further cost estimates based on the four story building.
In this regard it should be pointed out that the growth rate
for the Industrial Commission envisions a projected figure
of 505 employees by January of 1970 as compared to 300
employees at the present time.
The number of claims processed by the commission have
been increasing at the rate of approximately 3,000 per year.
The additional story could be utilized by other state depart­ments
until such time as needed by the Industrial Commis­sion
which evidently will be in the near future.
Monies for the building construction will come from the
Industrial Commission surplus fund which on December 31,
1958, totaled $6,149,858.10. In addition there is a catastrophe
fund of $5,803,862.72. However, the latter fund will not be
used for building purposes.
It should also be pointed out that the commission has ap­proximately
$52,000,000.00 in assets.
In response to a question from the committee as to the cost
of the building to policy holders, the Industrial Commis­sion
estimated that the cost to each policy holder would be
approximately two to three dollars per year which would
be reflected in the loss of interest currently drawn from
bond investment.
The committee reconvened December 11, 1959. Also present
were Don Lockwood of the Planning and Building Commis­sion,
and the three members of the Industrial Commission.
The commission presented figures indicating that the total
cost of a four· story and basement building would approxi­mate
$1,281,517.00. This structure would serve the needs of
the Industrial Commission as projected to the year 1970 and
possibly beyond.
The committee noted that no provisions had been made for
adequate parking facilities.
In summary there is no doubt that the building is urgently
needed and that the money is available in the Industrial
Commission surplus fund.
Your committee is satisfied with the legality of the building
proposed.
The committee is not unanimous: on the issue of using em­ployer
funds to erect a building for the use of the Indus­trial
Commission.
It is recommended that should a proposal be advanced in
the Legislature for the erection of the building that a
maximum limit be placed on the authorized expenditure
for this purpose.
